Everything you wanted to know about composting, and then some, may be found on this website. Start with basics in building a compost bin. Don't have a house with backyard? No worries. Composting has advanced. Learn about "vessel composting" to create one to sit in the corner of your condo balcony.
Now we move onto the different types of composting. There's "earthworm composting" (the red wrigglers are born for this job), then (you knew it was coming) "manure composting". What follows? What else? Learn about composting toilets! Aaah, now we really have your attention.

The result--no bad odor. Want aromatic?
If you want to get fancy, try this recipe for creating a mushroom compost with a sweet odor.
